Hearty Tomato Soup

I know this isn't really a side dish but I've been asked by several people for the recipe so here ya go. Enjoy!

Hearty Tomato Soup

2 Tbls. butter
6 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp. dried basil leaves
1/2 tsp. paprika
2 c. milk
2 cans condensed tomato soup
2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) crushed tomatoes

-Melt butter and cream cheese in a sauce pan.

Stir in garlic, basil, and paprika. Gradually stir in milk and soup.

Beat with a wire whisk until smooth. Stir in tomatoes and stir until hot.
I like to grate cheese on top before serving.
